Quaint Memoirs of Old Times.

Here are some of the "reminiscences of
Capt Isaac Bassett, the venerable as
sistant doorkeeper of the senate: "In
olden days candles were used in the
senate and sperm candle in common
brass candlestick stood on each sena-
tors desk. These and two large brass
oil lamps on either side of the vice
president formed the whole light of the
chamber. l had TO fill these lamps
every day. and VIC pages had to put the
candles and candlesticks on each sena-
tors desk. The pages had to go
around the senate during the evening
and snuff the candles. For this we
used big iron snuifers, and during a
long night session we would use two
candles. and in the middle of 1t we
would have to take cut the old ones and
light new ones. A night session of the
senate in the past formed weird scene.
The Pickering shadows would fall upon
the senator's face as he spoke, and when
the light burned low. forms wo uld be
hardly distinguishable. The mellow
lamps cast softened light over the
marble of the chamber, and made the
whole look like a ghostly senate. pre-
sided over by spectral vice president.

The Use of Lemons.

Lemons are one of the most useful
fruits in our domestic economy. The
juice of half lemon in glass of water,
without sugar. will frequently cure a
sick headache.
II the hands be stained, there Is moth
ing that will remove the stain better
than lemon or lemon and salt. After
the juice has been squeezed from the
lemon the refuse can be used for the
purpose.
Lemon juice is also very good rem
edy for rheumatism and the so-called
biliousness Of spring In the latter
case the juice should be taken before
breakfast. The pulp may also b.
eaten. avoiding every particle of skin.
Lemon juice and sugar, mixed very
thick, is useful to relieve coughs and
sore throats, 1t must be very acid as

Lemonade is not only luxury, but

The Pres.d pn,.s ADVICE.

WAsHINGTON,Ja Jan. 6.-The President
received call to-day from young man
whom he had recently pardoned from the
penitentiary. When the President saw his
card he recognized the name and directed
that the visitor be shown in. The young
man said he lived some distance from Wash.
ington but had come here in order to per.
sonally thank the President for restoring
him to liberty and his family, also to assure
him that In future his conduct would con.
vince the President that his clemency had
not been misplaced. The President treated
his visitor very kindly, and after inquiring
into his past life and future prospects, ad-
vised him to make himself useful citizen,
adding that it is never too late to reform
and that there is plenty of room for him in
the world

TOURISTS GETTING HOME.
The Exodus from Florida Setting
In in Earnest.

/
In in Earnest.
The exodus Of tourists from Florida TO
their Northern and Western homes has
set in in earnest. Siragglers have been
vending their way back for month past,
| but they were not numerous. Many OF
them were business men who could not
stay away any longer, and few were
| pleasure. seekers who stopped over at va
/ rious places along the route. Yesterday
large quota passed through savannah.
| All OF the trains arriving over
| the Savannah. Florida and Western
were crowded. The number would
have greatly Increased had it not been
| for heavy rain which fell in Jackson
vile nearly ali Sunday night, and which
| increased to "A perfect deluge Just before
the north bound morning train left. But
notwithstanding the fact that hundreds
of FlOrlda's visitors have turned their
backs on the st. Johns, and thousands
more are packing up preparatory to leav-
ing, the tide mas not altogether stopped
flowing South.
The arrivals at the Jacksonville hotels
on saturday were almost as heavy as on
any previous day.
a railroad man who has been watching
the tourist travel very closely this season
remarked on Sunday that he believed
tnere were actually more visitors IN
Florida on that day than were ever before
in the State. The Jacksonville hotels
were tnronged, and the same report came
from all the winter resorts. On the Sun
day before the St. Augustine hotels were
pressed TO their utmost capacity to ac-
commodate the city's visitors. The rail-
road and hotel men are trying to induce
the visitors to spend a part of April In
Florida.
Many of the tourists have been away
from home for three months and are
anxious to get back, but it is believed
that the season will last longer this
spring than ever before. The hotel men
who were blue early in the season are
happy now ana predict that next win
ter's business Will be better than this
winters has been. California
did not come up to the ex-
pectatl0n of those who
Journeyed thither, and the time and eX-
pense were far greater than anticipated.
Instead of being able to get a round trip
ticket from New York to Los Angeles for
500 the tourist found that a sleeping car
both ways would cost him that amount
all to $6. About the smallest amount for
which the trip could be made was $154,
which did not include meals, and the trip
Jook at least ten days.
The Interstate commerce bill will
increase the difference in the rates from
New York to California and to Jackson
vile, so the railroad men say, and that
will help Florida considerably.

THE DUBLIN SHORT LINE.
The Ex-Directors OF the Central
Not After the Road.

A member of the ex-board of the Gen.
trail railroads directory was asked yes
terday if there was any basis In fact Tor
the report that Capt. Raoul and some OF
his friends are about to take hold OF the
Savannah, Dublin and Western railroad.
The reply was that there most assureuIy
Is not. Capt. Raoul was ia New YORK
last week, and some OF the others who
were reported to be interested with him
in the move were elsewhere out OF the
city. With claims amounting 10 S9S,OOO
against it, nothing is likely to be done
with the road and It's franchise until the
courts decide how much OF the alleged in =
deDtedness will have to be paid.
General Manager Van Fossen, OF the
my thical United States Railroad Con-
structIOn Company, attempted TO induce
the Raou management after Gen. Alex
ander's election 10 the presidency Of the
Central to take hold OF the Short Line
railroad. For while he SAID that he
thought he would succeed, but his plans
did not work out as ne wished them TO.
Whether the Georgia CeutraFs eX-man-
&gament took any interest IN mis- PROPOSE
ton or not, il is certain that no overture
wss made which any OF Capt. RaouPs
friends would accept.
SO far as could be learned the United
States Railroad Construction Company
was composedpf Mr.Fan Fossen, its Ges-
eral Manager, and two contractors on
some of jag Gould's lines. One OF the
contractors was named Sidell. Their
scheme appears 10 have contemplated
their engaging capitalists to put up the
money tor the work OF grading. They did
not succeed, and hence the construction
company never bought even new SHOVEL
for tue savannah and Dublin. Mr. Van
Fossen minated that President Under
man was the obstacle. Mr.. LlndermSn
had the railroad cOmpauy's bonds and
the construction company wanted TO get
them.
Mr.. Van Fossen tried to get Mr.. Lin
derman to come 10 Savannah. The Presi-
dent may not nave had any business here.
At any rate, he did Rot accept any OF Mr..
Van FOssen's Invitations to meet him.
